That would indicate that either the meticulous Japanese testers were not meticulous or that Oliver was a one-quarter human tetragametic chimera.<br />The second Oliver DNA test did not test for chimerism and did not publish.<br />The third Oliver DNA test did not test for somitcwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854041651395467752.post-90786357537703901752011-02-03T03:32:05.153-05:002011-02-03T03:32:05.153-05:00Although folk science keeps on distributing images...Although folk science keeps on distributing images and stories about our quadrupedal ancestors running like dogs or squirrels, the paleontological evidence since ever supports a different view. Miocene apes had probably a “generalist” locomotion repertoire, with main (anatomical) adaptations towards suspensory life style. Orangs can be a good model for this. And the suspensory habit is a perfect emihttp://zoobio.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854041651395467752.post-47266204408234402672011-01-30T09:02:57.691-05:002011-01-30T09:02:57.691-05:00All I can think about is the movie &quot;Planet of...All I can think about is the movie &quot;Planet of the Apes&quot; and I&#39;m thinking that evolution finds a way...we, as homosapiens, are in trouble, if we keep on abusing our fellow animals on this planet. I can see us on the flip side of the situation...in cages, freaks of nature displays, unable to live free, human experimenting...it&#39;s so not good.

Yes, he&#39;s able to facultatively walk around like that, but the gorilla body has evolved in a completely different way than the human body, and almost Zinjanthropushttp://zinjanthropus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854041651395467752.post-55378379517349333192011-01-29T07:06:54.590-05:002011-01-29T07:06:54.590-05:00Not sure what you are hinting at about Charles Dar...Not sure what you are hinting at about Charles Darwin being right.
